Mountain Jerk Added a comment about feature SNEAK PEEK - TRP's New EVO Mechanical Drivetrains

It's a significant step (or many steps) from the TR12. The shift paddles feel very comfortable and intuitive. We look forward to the long term test.

Mountain Jerk Added a new Feature SNEAK PEEK - TRP's New EVO Mechanical Drivetrains
3/21/2023 10:47am
For many riders, TRP is still a relatively new brand in the brake and drivetrain segments. While true, TRP's roots go much deeper. In 2006, Tektro, one of the largest bicycle brake manufacturers in...

The Wild certainly felt more balanced on the size large for me. I still had instances where the front end dove a bit, such as hitting steep drops out of corners without a lot of speed. I have not ridden the Scott.

Fall often presents the best riding conditions of the year. Trails are less crowded, the dirt percolates with endless grip-inducing moisture, and sweat is no longer dripping into our eyes, blinding us...
Mountain Jerk Added a new Feature First Ride - Orbea Launches the Fully Redesigned Wild eMTB
12/5/2022 11:39am
Though the full-power Wild has existed in Orbea's lineup since 2016 with numerous iterations—the original was a hardtail—Orbea was aware that today's eMTB technology demanded more than a revision...

I bought this bike after owning Jeffsy and sb130, and I am in love. I race Xc but love big adventures on the weekend with long climbs and steep gnarly dh. And this bike fits me perfectly! I threw on some carbon wheels, mt7 brakes, and was able to get my bike down to 28lbs (check out my bike check on vital). This reviewer nailed it it’s super playful, but still confident inspiring for going fast. This review helped me realize I am not as much of a plower in the chunk as I thought. Instead I like to pick...

bturman Liked a product review 2014 Test Sessions: Norco Sight Carbon 7.1
2/13/2014 3:26pm
Reviewed by Steve Wentz and Brandon Turman // Photos by Shawn Spomer and Lear Miller New for 2014, the 140mm travel Norco Sight makes the leap from aluminum to carbon. In doing so they’ve reduced the frame weight by a whopping 25% and improved the ride characteristics. While the geometry remains the same, Norco did take the time to make a handful of minor updates. Combining the smooth lines of carbon, a dialed paint job and a little color coordination in the component spec, this bike truly is a sight to behold. In fact, we’d wager that it’s the best...

Mountain Jerk Added a reply to Cannondale Claymore for DH
4/16/2012 6:44pm I have a 2011 Claymore 1. The biggest change I made was going to 1x10 (36 big ring) with a chain guide. It's my "one bike does all" and I raced some Gravity East rounds and it did really well. The bike likes to be ridden fast and keeps up well with full DH rigs except for the most technical...
Mountain Jerk Added a reply to Who has experience with 1x10 speed for enduro/light dh?
9/5/2011 7:48pm I have a Claymore as well, and run 1x10 with a 36 chainring. It climbs pretty well with the 36 and granny gear in the back. I'd recommend anywhere between a 34-36.

12/21/2010 8:16pm Sunline Half Waffle and Logo Thick. Never could understand why so many prefer a thin grip. They make my hands hurt.
